GTA Toronto MAMERs - Need help!
henviii:
Sorry- also forgot to mention- the monitor powers up - but no picture.
henviii:
yeah, if you tweak the brightness controls- you can see it lightening/darkening. And when you turn it off, you get a flash of light.
I bought it from a guy named Stu Harrison outta burlington. I've emailed him a few times and he's been helpful but no one is sure what the problem could be.
RayB:
It could be a large number of things... loose connections, damaged vid card or damaged jpac, maybe even power supply weakness ...
I would look into the following:
1. In the heat of playing, maybe something got loose or disconnected (due to vibration from pounding on the controls). *WITH THE POWER OFF* check that the video card is properly seated in the slot. Then check that the video cable is properly secure to the video card and to the JPAC (I assuming you have a JPAC?). Make sure everything is secure all the way up to the monitor.
2. With power on, check that the JPAC (assuming you have one) 's LED lights are on (or off?). Check www.ultimarc.com to find out what the lights mean and whether they should be on or off.
My gut tells me it's just a connection issue. But if the JPAC circuitry died, that would cut off the signal too.

Thanks,
I will double check everything but i figure it's either the JPAC or the videocard.
Does anyone know where i can get a new JPAC in the GTA? Or do i have to order it off teh ultimarc website?
Quarters:
You must get jpacs from ultimarc. However I think this not your problem. As RayB said Check that tha AVGA is seated well and the check the wiring to the monitor. I suspect the later.
Sorry, Ottawa to TO is too far for me to drop by.
